Final answer:

After being accused and under duress, Tituba named Sarah Good as one of the individuals practicing witchcraft during the initial Salem witch trials.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tituba, the West Indian servant of Reverend Samuel Parris in Salem Village, accused Sarah Good and Sarah Osborne of being witches after she herself was implicated during the Salem witch trials. Under duress, she named these two women as her accomplices. Sarah Good was an easy target as a homeless beggar and Sarah Osborne was already viewed with suspicion for not attending church services, which was considered non-conformist in the strictly Puritan society. The initial accusations by Tituba led to a widespread witchcraft scare, ultimately resulting in the executions of many accused witches during the hysteria of 1692-1693 in Salem, Massachusetts.
